SSR vs TIP31

5050 types are brighter according to --- http://www.flexfireleds.com/pages/Comparison-between-3528-LEDs-and-5050-LEDs.html

Yes, 5050's would be better but I was just going with what I had on hand

No problem. I thought you were looking to buy.

The 3528 strips have seperate LEDs for each of the 3 colours. At least mine do.

Looking good. Reminds me of what my setup looked when I was testing but a lot more neater. Less cable looms. Are you using solid or stranded links?

The only potential issue I see is that you will be limited by the current-handling capacity of the long busses on the breadboard. I'd feed the breadboards at multiple points to work around this.

Solid links between the connections. Yes, I am feeding the breadboards and term blocks at multiple locations

POOF! Reversed the polarity on the 595 array. Guess it's time to start over

Man your are going to have a ton of reliability issues with that, when you put stuff liek this into use you really shoudl at lest put it on soldered perf board.

1 amp is really the practical limit per trace on a solder less breadboard. ON the no names ones its likely worse.

Yeah, found that out the hard way. I blame myself, tried to go cheap...

You can probbly make up a board in kicad.
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+EDA+Software+Suite

and send to oshpark.com(usa) or elecrow.com(china) then get it back fairly quick.

I'm going in a totally different direction. I ordered the PixLite16 board. 32 universes of LEDs plus 4 DMX512 universes onboard. Links to Vixen via sACN (E1.31) or DMX. The demo videos look pretty straight forward
